Beth Babcock

The heroine I’d like to report is my friend Beth Babcock. Beth is one of those women who are truly as beautiful inside as she is outside.
Two years ago I was at the lowest point in my life. I was physically ill and needed major surgery, and I was also in a very deep depression. To say I had lost my desire to continue living is an understatement.
When Beth found out I was having surgery, she arranged a luncheon with a group of our girlfriends. They came to my house and brought love and encouragement with them. Beth was sitting next to me and at one point leaned over and said, “You need to see Kurt. I’ll arrange it.” Kurt is a spiritual healer/therapist that several of the women had seen at one point, and Beth had tremendous faith in his abilities.
I agreed to see him, and on the day of the appointment, she drove me back and forth to his office. This was a tremendous act of love, as Beth lives about 15 minutes from him, and I am about 45 minutes in the opposite direction.
My session with this man lasted about an hour and a half. He helped me to refocus my thoughts, and I can say in all honesty that it was on that day that I chose to begin living life again. I went into my surgery with a much different attitude than I would have had Beth not intervened and arranged those selfless acts of kindness and love. I feel as if I was dying and her acts recusitated me.
One of the things I find most touching about this is that Beth and I have not been friends forever. We don’t get to see each other that often. But that didn’t matter to her. She saw a friend in need and by reaching out to help me she began to breathe life back into me.
So many times in our lives we don’t realize that we have been placed in someone’s life as an angel…often we don’t realize just how much the things we do touch the lives of others…I want to give Beth this page in herstory because I want the world to know about the kind acts of this beautiful woman who reached out to me in my darkness and helped me find my way back to the light…
